January « 2008 « Howling Mime

so my throat’s had a tingle in it for a few days now, and today i woke up with little voice. this is likely a result of being on campus for part of the past three days with temperatures around 34 and light rain. i suppose it is winter! i’ve determined i don’t like this season… overcast, grey, bleak. there’s enough of that without crappy weather! it hit kristin hard, too, and we’ve been trading off sniffles for a month now. other friends are affected by cedar (actually, juniper!) which is really heavy in the air this time each year. good thing winter is so short.

i have a presentation to give at a workshop in boston next week, so i really need to get this over with if i’m going to have a cold. and it’s going to be worse in a hotel room by myself if it shakes down that way, so i’m almost willing to let myself get super-sick right now so i can have my body full of antigens (or is it antibodies? do antigens create or “summon” antibodies? ugh, how i want to know more biology).

luckily i can still have a voice and get things done — thatnks to the text-based nature of this work… is this a good thing? or should i really just be resting completely?

hot caffeine free herbal tea, gourmet honey (is there such a thing?) from the black forest, and npr frame this moment. soup to follow at lunch.
